How old is too old? Would you date someone 5, 10, 20, years older than you? What's your limit?

Answer 1

My limit is the foxy factor. If they look good and take care of themselves, I'm not concerned if a woman is 30 years older than me....like the 50 year old grandma in the bowflex commercial.....

Anyway, if someone lets themselves go and doesn't take care of themselves, then I won't date them even if they are younger.

Answer 2

That depends on YOU, how do you feel about someone as a person, both emotionally and from a physical standpoint. Of course there have to be some reasonable limits, e.g, a 70 yr old dating someone who is 35, but I see nothing wrong with dating or even marrying someone who is maybe 5, 10, or 15 years your junior or senior. My first relationship which I would consider to be serious was with a woman 17 years older than myself, and my ex-wife was 7 years older. Ask yourself this: do you have a physical attraction? and can you relate on an intellectual and emotional level. If you can honestly say yes to either one or both of these questions then there is nothing wrong at all with dating someone who is a few years older or younger.

Answer 3

it really depends on the people --- some would look askance at someone with more than 3 or 4 years age gap and some would not be troubled by a 30 plus age gap --- and there could be real love involved on both parts --- different strokes for different folks

Answer 4

i'm 22... my 'limit' is someone younger than my sister, who's 32. however, i would probably break my limit if the person was right.
